More on The Bronx
Description from Wikipedia:
The Bronx is one of the Five Boroughs of New York City. It is the northernmost of the city's boroughs and the newest of the 62 counties of New York State. The Bronx is located northeast of Manhattan and south of Westchester County. It is the only borough situated primarily on the North American mainland (while the other four are on islands, except for Marble Hill, a very small portion of Manhattan.). In 2009, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that the borough's population on July 1, 2008 was 1,391,903, with an area of 42 square miles (109 square kilometers) of land, making the Bronx the fourth most populous of the five boroughs, fourth in land area, and third in density of population.
The indigenous Lenape (Delaware) American Indians were progressively displaced after 1643 by settlers from the Netherlands and Great Britain. The Bronx received many Irish, German, Jewish and Italian immigrants as its once-rural population exploded between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries. They were succeeded after 1945 by African-Americans and Hispanic Americans, together with immigrants from the Caribbean, especially Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. In recent years, this cultural mix has made the Bronx a wellspring of both Latin music and hip hop.
